“Mephistopheles: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.

And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?”
― Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus

“In my experience, it is Affection that creates this taste, teaching us first to notice, then to endure, then to smile at, then to enjoy, and finally to appreciate the people who 'happen to be there.'

― C. S. Lewis

“This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”
